TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT IN WADALA - URVI JOSHI, 21
• Wadala is well connected to various parts of Mumbai through a grid of roads and rail net •work. A significant drawback continues to be poor connectivity, despite the site’s central loca tion and proximity to four prominent subur ban railway stations Bandra, Sion, Kurla and •Chembur.Busservices to these busy business hub are •inadequate.TheKurlabridge took years to be built as did the Santacruz- Chembur Link Road. The access roads to BKC are heaving with traffic round the clock.
• The main road adjacent to the site fur ther connects to BKC and Chembur.
• The BKC top will be an interchange between what will go on to be two of the busiest corri dors.
• To the east of the site there is the main road across to which is a huge area of green space.
• The pedestrian connections between the higher order street and the window street should be provided.

• The site itself has tress and in it existing state is filled with small shrubs all around.
• The road grids connect the buildings for easy accessibility.
• The activity analysis has been taken place on the basis of each spaces that are around the site, each space showcases the locations and the overlaps of the hotspots and common interactive areas of the spaces thus showing the activity zones and the us ers that use them.
• Transition is seen from one place to another through built active form.
• Buffer space is provided to reduce traffic from main road to the internal parts of the Wadala.
• The location of the site or the area is yet •developing.Thesiteis accessible by all the sides of the roads and has a water body adjacent to the front road that is the east side.
• The site is surrounded mostly by residen tial buildings which are mostly low risers.

TOD focuses on urban mixed-use development along the transport routes such as metro rail, BRTS, and other modes of transit. International experience has shown that, while transportation infrastructure supports transit-oriented, improving accessibility and buildi9ng walkable commu nities equallyis important. Why Mumbai? The focus has been placed on the four planned metro lines, one of which runs between Wadala and Kasarvadavali. Wadala used to be an important commercial hub where factories and mills were built. The area has seen growing real estate rates in the recent years as a result of improved infrastructure, road connectivity, train lines, and monorail. It also now has a large number of private neighbourhoods, business spaces, and luxury residences.Since the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) announced its plans for the cen trally situated neighbourhood, many homeowners from the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) have been attracted to this new location. After Nariman Point and Bandra Kurla Complex, this micro-market will be the third central commercial area, located between South Mumbai and the suburbs.
• Rare laneways for driveways and garag es should be provided.
• Spaces near the Somiya ground and Residential area nearby are mostly active space used for inter •action.Thesite transport facilities to internal parts con necting which makes built form more active.
• GlassRecyclableis100% recyclable, and it does not degrade during the recycling process. Hence, it can be recycled repeatedly without compromising on quality or purity.
• Aluminium is very flexibleIt’s easily bent and very flexible. This is why we can supply any tailor-made facade system easily in aluminium.
GLASS
• Aluminium is easy to recycleOf all the metals aluminium is the metal that is very easy to recycle without losing quality. It takes very little energy to recycle and that without loss in quality.

VERTICAL ALUMINIUM LOUVERS Advantages :
• Insulator of Electricity Insulator of electricity means a material that is a poor conductor of electricity. Glass is an excellent insulator. It does not readily conduct electricity.
• Resistant to weather and corrosionAluminium is oxide coated, this coating protects the metal from corrosion and other weather effects naturally.
DESIGN DEVELOPMENT TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPEMENT | WADALA, MUMBAI JOSHI URVI AJIT | 2017PA0089 | DESIGN DISSERTATION MATERIAL DETAILS Proportioning Mixing Compacting Curing Drying CONCRETE •Advantages:WeatherResistance: Very low water absorbing quality and they offer stronger resis tance to water leakage and also withstand adverse weather conditions. • Saving Raw Material: Up to 60% reduction in cement mortar consumption It saves on time labor, raw material and result in more rapidly construction. • Low Breakage & High Strength: High compressive strength. Three times stronger than conventional bricks with consistent strength (about 3 to 4 times than burnt clay bricks), more economic structure. • Time Saving: Saving both time and labor cost. • Fast Construction: It Save on time labor, raw material and result in more rapidly con •struction.NilWastage: Zero wastage while transporting and usage.
• Weather and Rust resistant Glass is fully weather resistant. It can withstand the effects of the wind, rain, or the sun and can retain its appearance and integrity in most of the given conditions.
Glass•Advantages:Transparencyisaunique transparent material which allows light to pass through it so that the objects behind the glass are visible clearly.
• Aluminium is very lightweightAluminium is an extremely light metal, weighing a third of the weight of steel. When designing your facade, aluminium will save costs and is easy to install.
